<div><div>Anyway, I suppose we could also require a license on those posts? There is already a lot of Creative Commons material available, which could be used right away. However, since adding a guide to
<a href="http://Xubuntu.org" target="_blank">Xubuntu.org</a> will also increase visibility of the blog of the original author I think it'd be fair enough to require all featured guides to be CC-licensed so we can be sure we avoid any legal problems.

Is it just as simple as contacting an author, asking him or her to use their content on our wiki pages under the CC by SA license, and them granting permission? (We would, of course, appropriately acknowledge their work according to terms of the CC by SA license.)<br>
